TERMINATION OF PREGNANCY IS YOUR LEGAL RIGHT

Termination of pregnancy is when a woman decides to end her pregnancy by medical means before the full term. The woman must be under 13 weeks pregnant to end the pregnancy without giving reasons.

If she is between 13 and 20 weeks pregnant, the pregnancy may be terminated only under specific conditions. If she is more than 20 weeks pregnant, it will be done only if her or the foetus’ life is in danger or there are likely to be serious birth defects.

The Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act No. 92 of 1996 gives all women the right to a free abortion (termination of pregnancy) at a government hospital or clinic during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.

Esangweni Clinic and Tembisa Hospital are amongst the health care centres in Gauteng that offer the termination of pregnancy services:🏥 ESangweni Community Health Care Centre📍219 Mpilo Street, ESangweni Street, Tembisa
